Illness often begins long before someone arrives at the hospital. Our campaigns on smoking, waste management, alcohol, and sexual health display straightforward messages across schools and village walls in local languages. Through simple posters, talks, and games, we help protect thousands of children.

In this article you finally discover who are Kawan Sehat health agents, not as numbers but as people. Through portraits and short testimonies they explain who they are, where they live, the patients they care for and why they chose to become the first line of medical care in remote East Sumba hills every day.
In the hills of East Sumba, Kawan Sehat health agents walk for hours to reach families who live far from any clinic or road. Equipped with a medical backpack and solid training, they treat fevers, wounds and malaria, document every case, and call our doctors when a life is in danger and transfer is possible.
In this image Kawan Sehat wound care happens on a bamboo floor where clinics are days away. The agent irrigates, debrides if needed, applies a sterile dressing, checks tetanus, and teaches danger signs. Early care stops infection before it spreads to the blood. This is how primary medicine prevents funerals.
This picture shows Hambarita water reservoir plaques resting on the grass moments before installation. Each plate carries a local name because water is treated like kin. When a tank is called by name, people maintain it, clean gutters, and guard the lid. Eight new reservoirs will store rain, cut disease, and return time to families.
At Rumah Kambera we checked 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps East Sumba one by one. Volunteers, Rotary, Fair Future and Kawan Baik tested brightness, panels, switches and batteries, fixed faults, logged QR codes, and packed each unit for long journeys to schools with no electricity. Light prevents injuries, improves study, and protects health.
Erwin, the Field Coordinator of the Primary Medical Care programme, spends days crossing muddy roads, broken bridges, and steep trails to deliver medicines to Kawan Sehat agents. His work keeps remote East Sumba villages connected to lifesaving care, dignity, and trusted medical support.
Solar electrification reaches SDN Mbajik in ultra-rural East Sumba, powering classrooms, water pumps, and internet access. This community-built system transforms education, safety, and daily life—bringing lasting change to one of Indonesia’s most isolated schools.
This article reports field dates, methods and impact from East Sumba malaria prevention. Teams worked with Puskesmas, schools and village leaders to align education, IRS, LLINs and diagnostics. Data and costs are fully documented so partners and health services can improve coverage, reduce transmission and replicate what works.
